Message | Choice is mostly neutral on this, but would appreciate a better explanation on all three reasons first before making a final decision. |
Date | 18:07:38, March 21, 2015 CET | From | Progress Party | To | Debating the Labour Relations Bill |
Message | For the first article, we believe our is simply about allowing our workers an absolutely free choice as to unionisation. For the second, we believe that such an issue should be one purely for employers and employees to work out among Themselves rather than through government influence. For the third, we believe that it is simply a matter of democracy and that we should not allow a minority of militant trade unionists to bring our nation's services to a halt. |

Message | We agree on your first and third points. However we disagree with the second as we don't believe in salary caps. |

Message | Neither do we, at the moment the legislation seems to endorse salary caps and what our proposal does is remove this endorsement, as there is no way to outlaw salary caps. |
